Many people set up multi-zone audio systems in order to have background music in other rooms or maybe out on the patio. And for systems like that, the typical low-powered distribution amplifiers work fine. But if you demand clean, clear sound, and the ability to turn it up loud if necessary, you need a power amplifier designed and built with audiophiles in mind, like the 8-channel Anthem PVA 8.

Power more zones, or more speakers

Many people set up multi-zone audio systems in order to have background music in other rooms or maybe out on the patio. And for systems like that, the typical low-powered distribution amplifiers work fine. But if you demand clean, clear sound, and the ability to turn it up loud if necessary, you need a power amplifier designed and built with audiophiles in mind, like the 8-channel Anthem PVA 8.

Sound quality, value, and flexibility

The PVA 8 is designed to deliver high-fidelity stereo sound in up to four audio zones. It's part of Anthem's value-priced Performance Series. Power is conservatively rated at 90 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and 120 watts into 4 ohms. Whenever you see an amplifier with higher output into 4 ohms than 8 ohms, it's usually a good sign. It means the amp has a robust regulated power supply. If your receiver has multi-room audio capability with preamp outputs, you can easily connect the PVA 8 and use it to drive stereo pairs of speakers in up to four rooms.

Made in Canada, respected around the world

For more than two decades, Anthem has been making award-winning high-performance audio/video equipment for music and home theater. Anthem power amplifiers are designed, engineered, and built in Canada.

Product Highlights:

90 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 120 watts per channel into 4 ohms for compatibility with even difficult-to-drive speakers

Features

PVA Series Amplifier: All Anthem PVA series amplifiers are
designed to perform flawlessly; offering stunning musicality, tonal neutrality,
and incredible dynamics while driving almost any speaker load reliably under
real-world conditions. The power supply is conservatively rated and the amplifiers
run cool for greater reliability.

High-Quality Construction: PVA amps are designed and built in
Canada using the finest quality parts and materials. From military-spec (FR-4-rated)
epoxy circuit boards to multiple high-current bipolar-output transistors; from
oversized, computer designed heatsinks to Anthem's own custom-designed robust
binding posts, the build quality of these amps rank among the finest in the
world.

8-Channel Power Amplifier: The Anthem PVA 8 power amplifier
is designed to deliver incredible detail and dynamic sound from today's music
and movie soundtracks. The PVA 8 amplifier is the perfect solution for
distributed audio in up to 4 zones.

Superior Power Supply: The sonic purity of the PVA amplifier
design is the result of Anthem's intensive research and development in high-end
design. Superior high-end sound begins with a superior power supply. This amplifiers
use custom-built, low-noise, high-power toroidal transformers and advanced power
supply regulators with high-quality, low-ESL/low-ESR filter capacitors and huge
storage capacity.

"Keep-It-Simple" Circuitry: The amplifier's proprietary
and patented circuit design follows Anthem's "Keep-It- Simple" principle,
using the fewest number of parts in the signal path to maintain the integrity of
sound. The PVA series amplifier provides the finesse and instantaneous output power
to effortlessly reproduce the challenging variety of special effects in movies and
demanding musical passages.

Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM): PVA Series amplifiers feature
Anthem's ALM circuitry which protects sensitive output devices by constantly
monitoring temperature, current, and voltage to ensure optimum long-term performance.
ALM is totally non-invasive; it is not in the signal path and only engages in the
most extreme circumstances to protect the amplifier from damage by maintaining
the safe operating area of the output devices.

122dB Signal-To-Noise Ratio: Whether it's the subtle (or
not-so-subtle) special effects in a movie, or the tonal subtleties produced by
the strings of a single violin, the PVA amplifier will capture it all. Ultra-low
distortion and a truly incredible signal-to-noise ratio place the PVA series of
amplifiers among the cleanest and quietest on the market.

Trigger Input/Output: The Anthem PVA 8 is equipped with a
12V trigger input (3.5mm) and 12V trigger output (3.5m) to synchronize power
on/off with other components that also feature 12V trigger inputs and outputs.

3-Way On/Off: The PVA series amplifier can be powered on or
off in three ways - manually with the On/Off switch on the front-panel, remotely
via the rear-panel 12-volt trigger input, or automatically with Anthem's patented
Auto-On/Off circuit. Via the Auto-On/Off circuit, an incoming audio signal
immediately switches it on; and approximately 20 minutes after the audio signal
ends, it simply switches off.

LED Indicator: The front-panel LED is lit blue when the
amplifier is turned on, red when in standby mode, and not on when the amplifier
is removed from the AC power source.
